Site to track 2016 votes as they happen

RALEIGH – Civitas Action has unveiled a new internet home for its annual Conservative Effectiveness Ranking of North Carolina state lawmakers.

“The new site is far more user-friendly, and for the first time, will track legislative votes as soon as possible after the vote occurs,” said Civitas Action President Francis De Luca.

The legislative vote on HB 2 is already posted to the site, and votes on important issues throughout the session will be updated as they occur. This will enable constituents, media and legislators alike to track scores as this legislative session progresses.

The Civitas Action Conservative Effectiveness Ranking is the only rating system in North Carolina that allows the citizens of North Carolina to gauge how their state legislator actually votes on important bills, and offers a score to better determine the member’s overall ideological stance on the pivotal issues. “Letter grades will no longer be assigned as we believe those grades detracted from the ability to gauge legislators’ effectiveness based on relative numeric scores,” De Luca added.

Civitas Action has been producing its annual legislative ranking since the 2008 legislative session.

Rankings for the 2011 thru 2015 sessions are now available on the site, with prior years to be added in the coming weeks.
